' MECHANICAL MOVEMENT FOR C HURNS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 258,238, dated May 23, 1882.

' Application filed February 11, 1882. (No model.)

' VILLE, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Rutland, in the county of Butland and State of Vermont, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Mechanical Movements for Ghurns; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear,and

exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to letters or figuresof reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

Figure 1 is a perspective of my invention; Fig. 2, a detail in perspective; Fig. 3, an end elevation; and Fig. 1, a side elevation, showlng also in dotted lines the positions assumed by different parts of the mechanism employed at different extremes of the movement thereof.

Like letters refer to like parts in all the figures.

My invention relates to the means employed for producing an oscillatory movement inor of the body of a churn; and it consists in certain devices and combinations of devices, hereinafter more fully described, andspecifically set forth in the claims.

AA represent the side frames, and B B B the tie-rods, of a suitable supporting structure upon and within which the body G of a churn is secured and operated. One of the frames A is provided with an upright standard, 0, on which, externally, at c, is pivotally supported the main operating-lever D, which at its lower end is provided with. a pin, d, extending through a slot, 0, in the lower end of a secondary operating-lever, E, located inside of the frame, and provided with a bearing, 0, through which the upper tie-rod 13 passes, and with diagonally-disposed supporting-straps e e bent to form supports e e for the body of the churn, as clearly shown in Fig. 3. The lever E is also perforated at e for the reception of a pin, f, on the free end of. a spring-catch, F, secured to the body of the churn. Similar diagonal supporting-straps, c 6 provided with a bearing like e, are suitably secured to the opposite side of the body of the churn, said 0 hearing being occupied by the upper cross-bar B, as clearlyshown in Fig. 3. 1

The churn-bodyis provided with adisehargeopening, h, and a removable cover, I, secured by buttons 11 c.

The operation of my invention is as follows: Swinging the upper end of lever D to the right, Figs. 1 and 4, throws its lower end to the left, and carries with said lower end the lowerend of lever E, the pin cl riding up the slot 0. This movement throws the body of the churn to the right and slanted, as shown in said Fig. 4. Areversal of the movement of lever D throws the churn to the right, also shown in dotted lines.

The supportingstraps upon the back of the body may be secured thereto removably by a spring-catch, F, as are those on the front; or they may be permanently attached by screws, and the bearing thereof be open or of n shape, and thus adapted to rest upon the upper tierod, B, and easily removable therefrom, when, toremove the body from the movement and framework, the spring-catch F is lifted from lever E, and the body lifted directly from said lever and the frame-work.

It will be noticedthat sudden and forcible ing-pivots, and with slight exertion on the partof the operator.

It is evident that either of the levers D or E may be slotted, and that one which is not slotted may carry the pin 01, and in some cases it may be desirable that lever E should carry the pin d and lever D be slotted.

Having described my invention and its operation, what I claim as new, and wish to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The combination of the frame A, lever D, pivoted thereto, and provided with the pin 11, with the slotted lever E, pivoted inside of the frame to the cross-bar B, and adapted to support the body G of a churn, substantially as shown and described.

2. The combination of levers D and E, located outside and inside of the frame, respectively, frames A A, and cross-bar B, with the body G of a churn provided with the spring- 5 catch F, substantiallyas shown and described.

3. The lever E, slotted at e, and provided with the bearing 0' and supporting-straps 0 0 in combination with the churn-bod y G and means for its oscillation upon the cross-bar B, substantially as shown and described. 10

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

EGBERT L. MARANVILLE.
